Check out the fantastic online Finding Solutions Newsletter by Jane and Larry Levine. The newsletter is published quarterly by the nonprofit program Kids Can Make a Difference (KIDS).
Their Winter 2011 issue focuses on Food and Sustainability, and includes my story about 7-year-old Sifa, daughter of Timothy Sheghere Mgonja, a Heifer International camel project participant.
Sifa is a bit shy when the towering adult camels get too close, but she’s all smiles when the young calves start nosing around (as seen in the above photo.)
She’s also able to attend English primary school and has an improved brick home and better nutrition, all thanks to the Heifer camel project. Let us know what you think and please share the newsletter with others who might be interested.
If you didn’t catch it in the Holiday 2010 issue, read a related World Ark article on a Maasai camel project here.
